    hi, Sharksguts

    After my research, I'm afraid it couldn't achieve in Power BI for now.

    But you may try this way, add a matrix or table visual with only column Part Number and Value, then they will be the Grand Total for

    basic matrix column, and they can interact with each other.

    For your requirement, you could post your new idea in Power BI ideas and make this feature coming sooner.

     

    another question, for you want to show the values of every day for the column, this exceeds the maximum number of items that can be displayed for column, Not only does it not have grand total but also the sub total.

    So you could these two ways:

    1. move the column Values field into row and row Value field into column.

    2. use a slicer to filter data to reduce the number of items of date.

hi, Sharksguts

Is this really a matrix visual like below:

You can also turn on or turn off the total in Format ->Subtotals ->row subtotals / column subtotals for matrix visual

    OK, I see my problem I haven't explained myself properly. I had created a matrix with multiple columns like below.

    If you turn subtotal on it puts a total for each column and the grand total. Any way to just show the grand total?

     

     

     

    The other problem I have is with my actual data, I get the following message which is why I had the sub total but no grand total.
    What are my options for handling this?

     

     

    Apologies for the poor explanation.

     

    Regards

        I am trying to get it to just show the grand total if I switch off sub totals then I get no grand total column.
